TOWEL-RACK.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 25,130, dated August 16, 1859.

y 'o all 'whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, RUFUS MAXWELL, of St. Georges, in the county of Tucker, in the State of Virginia, have invented a new and Improved Rack for Suspending Endless Towels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a` full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The drawing represents a top view of the rack, which for towels of common size may be made of a piece of wood one inch thick and one inch and a quarter broad and twenty or thirty inches long, so that after leaving the ends from A to a and from B to b three inches long the slot from a to I) may be as long as the towel is wide. The aforesaid slot should be one quarter of an inch wide. I make an opening at 0 of a fourth of an inch, through which the towel is passed into the slot.

The screws 1 and 2 are to fasten the rack to the wall or ceilingLor it may be suspended from the wall or ceiling by cords, or by any other practicable means.

I claim- The construction of racks for endless towels, with a slot or` b and opening c, substantially as and for the purpose above described.

RUFUS MAXW'ELL.
